World Touring Car Championship: Season preview

The 2009 World Touring Car Championship fires up at Curitiba in Brazil this weekend. Autosport's WTCC correspondent Steven English tells you what to expect as Andy Priaulx bids to wrest the title back from Yvan Muller

For the first time since its inception in 2005, the World Touring Car Championship will begin with a new driver carrying the #1 plate on his door. Andy Priaulx and BMW's run of four consecutive titles (three world and one European) was finally broken by Yvan Muller and SEAT last year.

Not that he's greedy, but make no mistake, the Channel Islander wants 'his' title back.
